Personnel from the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry check the cantrang (traditional seine net) vessel at a port in Tasikagung Beach in Rembang regency, Central Java, on Tuesday. Since Monday, a special team from the ministry has interviewed the owners of more than 100 cantrang vessels in Rembang. Previously, the ministry detected around 340 cantrang vessels in Tegal.

PATI, KOMPAS – After switching from the cantrang (seine net) to environmentally friendly fishing equipment, a number of fishing vessels from Pati regency, Central Java, have begun to set sail for eastern Indonesia, including to the Arafura Sea near the Aru Islands, Maluku. Although operating costs may have grown by nearly fourfold, the fishermen can also make big profits.

A Pati fishing vessel owner, Hadi Sutrisno, 39, who was contacted from Semarang on Sunday, said he did not use cantrang and had been using environmentally friendly fishing equipment such as gillnets and purse seines since early 2017.
